Other Games Saturday.
sKoMHFGANs. no: CoIRYs. 4.

The Colbys were defeated by the Skowhe-
gans Saturday in the hardest fought game
seen at Skowhegan this season. The Show
hegans are the strongest amateur club in the
State, and for the Colbys, with new nine
in their third game, to give them such
tussle is conclusive proof that base ball has
not seen its best days at Colby. The features
of the game were the heavy batting of the
Skowhegans and the field work of the Col
bys. The day was cold and cloudy, and
about the last one would select for ball
game, but the interest and excitement over
the game were so intense that all else was
forgotten. The score follows:
